Formation channels of slowly rotating early-type galaxies
Davor Krajnović, Ugur Ural, Harald Kuntschner +11
We study the evidence for a diversity of formation processes in early-type galaxies by presenting the first complete volume-limited sample of slow rotators with both integral-field…
Investigating Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies in the Ultraviolet with HST/COS Spectroscopy. I: Spectral Analysis and Interstellar Abundance Determinations
Bethan L. James, Alessandra Aloisi, Timothy M. Heckman +2
This is the first in a series of three papers describing a project with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope to measure abundances of the neutral interstel…
New Close Binary Systems from the SDSS-I (Data Release Five) and the Search for Magnetic White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variable Progenitor Systems
Nicole M. Silvestri, Mara P. Lemagie, Suzanne L. Hawley +13
We present the latest catalog of more than 1200 spectroscopically-selected close binary systems observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey through Data Release Five. We use the cat…
Ultracompact AM CVn Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Three Candidates Plus the First Confirmed Eclipsing System
Scott F. Anderson, Daryl Haggard, Lee Homer +23
AM CVn systems are a rare (about a dozen previously known) class of cataclysmic variables, arguably encompassing the shortest orbital periods (down to about 10 minutes) of any know…
Magnetic White Dwarfs from the SDSS II. The Second and Third Data Releases
Karen M. Vanlandingham, Gary D. Schmidt, Daniel J. Eisenstein +8
Fifty-two magnetic white dwarfs have been identified in spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) obtained between mid-2002 and the end of 2004, including…
Unravelling the Puzzle of the Eclipsing Polar SDSSJ 015543.40+002807.2 with XMM and Optical Photometry/Spectropolarimetry
Gary D. Schmidt, Paula Szkody, Lee Homer +6
The cataclysmic variable SDSSJ 015543.40+002807.2 is confirmed to be a magnetic system of the AM Herculis type. With an orbital period of 87.13 min, it is also the shortest-period…
